Greensborough Highway is a highway in the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, and is an important route for north-east Melbourne.

[edit] Route

Greensborough Highway runs from Bell Street at its southern point along as Rosanna Road up to the Upper Heidelberg / Lower Plenty Road junction where it reverts to through to Diamond Creek Rd at its northern point. It intersects along the way with the end of the Metropolitan Ring Road .

[edit] Greensborough Freeway

Original plans show that this road was designated as a proprosed freeway, extending further than Diamond Creek Road to finish at Ryans Road, Diamond Creek, and at the southern end extending past Lower Plenty Rd to link up with the Eastern Freeway between Bullen Rd and Burke Rd.

However, no annoucement has been made to link the Metropolitan Freeway to the Eastern Freeway as yet.
